To install BI Applications 7.9.6.4 on OBIEE 11.1.1.7.0, you must first run the bi-init.cmd script to set the necessary environment variables, as the Administration Tool now requires these variables. You then run the BI Applications installer setup.exe from the new command window, which will generate the OracleBIAnalyticsApps.rpd file based on your module selections. Running bi-init.cmd before the installer allows the installation to complete successfully.

The BI Applications 7.9.6.4 Installer has been certified with BI EE 11.1.1.6.4 and depends on the
BI Administration Tool to generate the OracleBIAnalyticsApps.rpd based on the user’s selection
of BI Applications modules.
With BI EE 11.1.1.6.4, Administration Tool could be run by directly invoking the admintool.exe
in <ORACLE_HOME>/bifoundation/server/bin. However, with BI EE 11.1.1.7.0, Administration
Tool requires specific environment variables to be set that are used internally. Directly invoking
admintool.exe gives an error – “NQSConfig.INI not found. Please make sure your environment is
set up properly”.
The BI Server Utilities provides a script calledbi-init.cmd in
<MW_HOME>instancesinstance1bifoundationOracleBIApplicationcoreapplicationsetup.
This needs to be run before running Administration Tool in order to set the necessary
environment variables.
Running this script first and then running the BIAPPS 7.9.6.4 Installer makes these variables
available to Administration Tool and the Oracle BI Applications installation is able to complete
successfully.
